With my first retail business, I never thought about the Point of Sales system I was going to use until the last minute of opening.

If you don't understand computers and software very well, hire or consult with someone who has experience. Looking at some of the posting on here, I recommend that you first do your research and take time to understand the software you think you will want to use and how it will work with you business. These people really aim to make this the best POS system out there! I am grateful for the listening to the users input on the part of Xsilva. Of course like all software, there are some things I would like added or changed that would make my use better, but over the few years I constantly see additions that please me. I am a Daylite user as well and I have to thank both Xsilva and Marketcircle for the LightSpeed/Daylite connector. I would not recommend it for food related businesses however! It is better designed for retail. If you have used POS systems you will be happy with LightSpeed. I spend little time training new sales members, which means more time for me and more money.

I have a lot of experience with POS systems on Mac and PC and was freed by LightSpeed. I have used LightSpeed for three years now. So in a nutshell, if you don't mind paying your share of support extortion fees, reinstalling OpenBase every two weeks to get the software to work and don't mind endlessly waiting for their 'Award Winning' support then purchase the software. They should learn to NOT treat their customers like criminals.

Having to beg them to release my license every couple weeks is a frustrating exercise of fruition. The OpenBase license keeps getting corrupted and then I have to beg them to 'Release' My license before I can open for the day.

I've spent more than $2,000 in IT Costs, having to keep begging Xsilva to fix a known problem with Mac OS X 10.5.8. Secondly, their licensing arrangement with OpenBase is BS. Be prepared to pay a new extortion fee 3-6 month's after installation, as it doesn't even come with a years support when you purchase systems from them.

Their support is great if you don't mind being extorted, year after year. While they advertise the fact that you can do multiple location installation, their implementation is poor. My opinion? Lightspeed is a good piece of software, when it works.

I've been using Lightspeed software for about two years in two locations. You will see most features sets are the same and learn that retail businesses around the world operate on the same principles.

To people posting on these threads, please speak about things you actually have some knowledge on!! Stop the bashing of developers, and maybe take a look at all the POS systems out there (PC versions too). I push a button and LS moves my all the book keeping details into my AccountEdge, my accountant logs into my server once every two months and I am done, saving my alot on my accounting and book keeping alone. Options for accounting is a must, not some conformed built in system. wait until you try getting your accounting pack into your accountant. ExecUltron, if you follow any of these threads, please consider the idea of getting out of the ugly executed UI you have and lose the FileMaker Database. Xsilva is well on track and has huge multi-store function. There needs to be more out there for Mac. I am not going to bash PIMS, in hopes that they develop another great product like similar to LightSpeed. Are you sure you are not speaking of CheckOut (which is a great light POS system).

'A few hundred products', are you for real? I run LightSpeed for two of my companies and each run well above 7k of inventory. I have been using POS on Macs for over 25 years, what you are saying is absolute BS. Please talk about what you really know and don't make up BS. There is no way you know both LightSpeed and PIMS to backup your claims. Hello FileMaker & Great Plains flash back.
